Sowerbutt's Thumbs

Tipper, a balaclava pulled over his crew-cut, sidled up to the edge of the steps to the Soviet Embassy. Pulling a cloth bag from his jacket, he emptied the contents. Two plain gold rings, two wallets with papers but minus several pound notes which were safe in Tipper’s pocket, a miniature Orthodox icon and two bloody thumbs that he had bought from the elderly undertaker at the end of High Bob for two pounds. He froze at the sound of a car door banging outside in Kensington Palace Gardens. “Society set back from a night out on the tiles,” Sowerbutt whispered to Spaghetti. “We’ll pay a visit round here soon, plenty of open windows no doubt. The owners begging for help with storing their valuables.”
